项目摘要

The Cancer Health Activism Network for Greater Equity (CHANGE) project addresses inequities in education and health outcomes for African American students in biosciences by enhancing biology teachers' cancer research and cancer health disparities knowledge and developing and implementing transformative, innovative, socially just biology lessons. The lessons will be refined over a series of Saturday workshops (CHANGE Academies) for students in schools that primarily serve Black and African American students in the Houston area. Additionally, locally and nationally, CHANGE will broadly disseminate these lessons through in-person and virtual professional developments (Health Disparities Institute for Teachers) for educators. The specific aims of this collaboration are to (i) increase teacher knowledge of both cancer biology and cancer health disparities and (ii) produce a novel high school biology curriculum on cancer biology and health disparities research grounded in the Transformative Leadership framework, and (iii) assess the impact of the CHANGE curriculum on student outcomes. The team that we have assembled includes the highest caliber of NIH-funded researchers, leaders in STEM teacher Professional Development (PD), experienced curriculum writers, leading bioethicists, and social scientists with expertise in racial disparities and inequities and large, diverse school districts. The PI and the research team have a track record of providing teacher PD that enhances and improves teachers' science content knowledge, self-efficacy, and leadership, improving student outcomes. Rice University is an ideal location for this project because it is strategically located in the large and diverse city of Houston, Texas, and is adjacent to the Texas Medical Center (TMC), the largest medical complex in the world. These collaborations routinely occur between the TMC and Rice University. This proposal is responsive to the goals of the NIH SEPA program as it will focus on Research Experiences, Curriculum or Methods Development, and Outreach to increase Black and African American interest and motivation in biosciences fields. The outcomes of this project, including the curricular materials that will be developed, will advance current knowledge about effective social justice in high school education as we pursue educational and health equity to successfully promote a diverse bioscience workforce.

癌症健康行动主义网络更大的平等（变更）项目解决了不平等现象通过增强非洲裔美国学生的教育和健康成果生物学教师的癌症研究和癌症健康差异知识和发展和发展实施变革性，创新性，社会公正的生物学课程。课程将被完善在一系列星期六的研讨会（变更学院）中，用于学校的学生在休斯顿地区为黑人和非裔美国学生服务。另外，在本地和在全国范围内，变革将通过面对面和虚拟的大致传播这些课程教育工作者的专业发展（教师健康差异研究所）。具体这种合作的目的是（i）提高教师对癌症生物学和癌症的了解健康差异和（ii）关于癌症生物学和健康差异研究以变革性领导框架为基础，（iii）评估变更课程对学生成绩的影响。我们组装的团队包括NIH资助的研究人员的最高水平，STEM教师专业人士的领导者发展（PD），经验丰富的课程作家，领先的生物伦理学家和社会科学家种族差异和不平等以及大型，多元化学区的专业知识。 PI和研究团队有提供教师PD的记录，可增强和改善教师科学内容知识，自我效能和领导能力，改善了学生的成绩。米大学是该项目的理想场所，因为它在策略上位于大型和得克萨斯州休斯敦的多元化城市，毗邻得克萨斯州医疗中心（TMC），最大世界上的医学综合体。这些合作通常发生在TMC和大米之间大学。该提案对NIH SEPA计划的目标有响应，因为它将重点关注研究经验，课程或方法开发以及扩大黑色以及非裔美国人对生物科学领域的兴趣和动机。这个项目的结果，包括将要开发的课程材料，将促进有关当前有关的知识当我们追求教育和健康公平时，高中教育中的有效社会正义成功地促进了多样化的生物科学劳动力。
